Tomorrow marks our 1 year anniversary for my girlfriend(17) and I(18). Yeah it's been rocky, and we love each other deeply. but along the months, I've noticed her efforts into making time for me. She's not allowed at my house because of her parents and their views on teenage dating because of sex. I'm not even allowed in her room. She has a low sex drive anyway. Her parents are really strict, but they do let us go out on dates SOMETIMES. But on the days when she's not doing anything she doesn't ask for me to come see her or to just go for a walk at the park or anything. I have to always plan things for us. Most days don't even go according to the plan. We see each other at school, but only in the hallways. Almost everytime if I ask for us to spend time with each other, she either has to do something, busy, or her parents make up some sort of excuse. They make it very hard for us to see each other. Everytime I'm busy I always make time to be with her. And I mostly am busy. Her, on the other hand would not flip her schedule or make time, UNLESS it has something special to do with her. She is very self conceited. We hardly even see each other on the weekends. She has shown no signs of cheating. I love her, but I am kinda debating with myself to just break it off and be friends instead. Or Am I being needy? Either way, we hardly do anything together. I have tried to break up with her because we used to fight a lot, she just cried to me about how couples that love each other fight. But this time if I do decide to just be friends, what should I say?

It sounds like she isn't all that invested in the relationship. Because of her age, you should completely drop the subject of sex, though. Also, once she's 18, if she even wants to, then you need to both be sure of birth control.

 

As far as breaking off with her, keep it short, do it in person. Tell her you care, but that it doesn't feel like a romantic relationship anymore and that you want to be free. I wouldn't seriously try to keep being friends, at least now for some months or until you've both actually moved on. Don't blame her for it or make accusations. Just say it doesn't feel right anymore.
